Japanese convenience stores

In Japan, 17% of payments for goods are paid at convenience stores or konbini in Japanese. This means that offering cash payments at convenience stores as a payment method will help you widen your reach in the local market.

Through our partner econtext, you can accept payments made through the following convenience stores across Japan:

• Lawson
• Mini Stop
• Family Mart
• Seicomart
• 7-Eleven: Local entity is required.

econtext does not require a direct contract. All other convenience stores do not require a local entity, except for 7-Eleven.

How to pay at convenience stores

After shoppers select to pay through 7-Eleven or other Japanese convenience stores on your website:

1. Shoppers are prompted to provide their full name, telephone number, and email address.
2. Depending on which convenience store the shopper selects, they are either redirected to 7-Eleven's page, or are presented with the voucher within your website. The voucher is also sent to the shopper's email (except for 7-Eleven).
3. Shoppers can then go to a 7-Eleven or other Japanese convenience stores to complete the payment. They need to provide the reference number and their phone number to get a voucher ticket.
4. Shoppers present the voucher ticket to the cashier, and pays in cash.
5. Shopper receives a receipt as proof of payment.

By default, the offer stays open up to 7 days. This means shoppers can complete their payment up to 7 days after the voucher was generated. If you want to change the offer expiry, contact our Support Team.
